    The closest argument that “the Bible argues for a work week” is the first two chapters of Genesis. God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th.

    … That’s it. That’s the whole reason our work week is the way it is. Jewish tradition really ran with that, and Christianity started as a Jewish sect. And of course for-profit business tried to jam as much work as possible into that framework. You can thank unions for the second day in your weekend.

    Everything else here, the “10 hours a day” and whatever else, is all just embellishment, possibly citing other parts of the Bible to make it sound more plausible.
